Alright, a follow up post because I just recently thought of it. The title says it all. Seriously, the feline didn't fall because of wondering what's on the other side of the wall.
So, firstly, I would like to ask you to remember when you were a child and you wanted to ask your older sibling or parent something but they wouldn't budge and ignore you. If you're in that position, you are gonna get yourself, and the kid in a lot of trouble.
Firstly, curiosity is a great trait to have. It means you won't be as naive and ignorant as the person who doesn't ask. Secondly, not giving the person the answer won't work. He/she wouldn't receive the answer they needed and you were being a lazy prick.
Encourage curiosity, but do not forget to feed it. You can't just tell them to keep asking questions if you yourself isn't willing to answer them. Besides, they might search for that answer in ways that are out of your control. Better to just answer them where babies come from rather than catch him watching stuff he shouldn't have.
Curiosity didn't kill the cat, not having an answer did.
